Essentials for the modern day angler.

By Perry Mack

Anglr Tracker App

Debuting at iCAST 2016, Anglr Labs presented their mobile app, the Anglr Tracker and the Anglr Xperience web program. You’ll be able to record and reflect on every fishing trip and analyze everything from weather data to the colour and style of the lure. All three components by ANGLR sync together seamlessly to show you cast to catch ratios, location of each catch and other in-depth data. The Anglr Tracker which captures the data is sold for $130 USD. Visit the Tech section of the guide. At the time of writing the app wasn’t available in Canada – stay tuned.
